Blackhawks skate away with easy 5-0 win
SASKATOON – Kale Kessy hopes to one day provide the grit the Edmonton Oilers have been missing from their lineup in recent years.
Kessy tried to show what he can do playing left wing for the Oilers in 5-0 loss to the Chicago Blackhawks on Sunday in pre-season action.
He rocked Blackhawks defenceman David Rundblad to the ice in the second period, which drew a lot of cheers from the 10,303 onlookers in attendance at Saskatoon’s Credit Union Centre, and a couple more crowd-pleasing hits followed from the second-year pro.
“I just have to play my role,” said Kessy. “I just have to keep it simple and finish my checks.”
